I was looking forward to the pornyear of 2016, but how disappointed i have been thus far. 95% of all the amazing female performers seems to have retired or gone in hiatus, and there's very little new talent that are worth watching. During the first 4 months of this year, i've found perhaps 7 good scenes worth saving.
Where have all the beautiful pornstars gone? Romi Rain and Ariana Marie seems to be the only somewhat active performers that are still worth watching.

A lot of the stars you listed have been around for a long time. That is why it is important not to over saturate the market with too many scenes. You start to wear out your welcome no matter how hot you are. But it does seem like both 2015 and 2016 are a bit of a disappointment after the great year of 2014. Porn fans are diverse, and there is a lot of competition out there between the models, and it seems like there arent too many girls that can develop enough of a following to have a long successful career. There are not too many models I follow.
THe ones I follow are:
Eva Lovia
Chloe Amour
Jezabel Vessir (she doesnt seem to get as many scenes as she deserves)
Sophia Jade (gg only / solo model that has not shot much lately)
Up and Coming stars that I will follow - hopefully they will be successful :
Amy Parks
Kiera Rose
Akira Lane ( long time softcore Asian model trying to transition to hardcore porn)
A girl that I am considering following:
Nina North
Girls I dont follow but I understand why other people like them:
Dani Daniels
Romi Rain
Ava Adams
Alexis Adams
Abigail Mac
Leah Gotti

I don't doubt that 2016 has been a bad year in porn for you, but I'm personally enjoying it. I'm indifferent to Ariana aside from her Blacked scene, and while I do regard Romi as a good performer I don't regard her as being the only pornstar worth watching.
I'm disappointed about some of the retirements you listed, especially Bonnie Rotten, but I continue to enjoy the work of pornstars who remain in the industry.

What's happened to porn is inexcusable but things could turn around in 2016..some actresses seem ready to comeback for instance Jade Aspen is on instagram more, Ivy Sherwood might be back. Some new chicks look really good Skyla Novea, Trixie Tao, Amanda Pink etc..then there are women like Jezabel Vessier, Ava Sanchez, Chanell Heart who should be working more..the production companies are not going to change it is up to consumers.

Ivy Sherwood is back actually..but just doing G/G scenes..only B/G scenes she'll do from now on will be with her new fiancee/husband(some new guy just starting out in the industry)
seems Jade Aspen is only being booked for those "urban"magazine shoots.as well as webcamming
also add Peta Jensen to the"recently retired" list..as for the ones xDEFILED listed,Aletta Ocean just shot a new scene for Dogfart
as far as Christy Mack and Sheena Shaw go i dont think that we'll ever see them in front of a camera again(Christy still having to deal with that a*hole who beat her,WarMachine..Sheena has been blacklisted,depending on who you talk to)

Of course this is purely subjective to every viewer. I'll say that for me, I'm pretty sure the highlight of 2016 is the upcoming Ana Foxxx DP. I know that getting more scenes from beautiful black women like her, Kira Noir, and Ivy Sherwood would go a long way towards making 2016 a great porn year.

I understand where you're coming from, Siri one of my all-time favourite performers retired earlier this year. Also parodies aren't being made as often which is disappointing, it seems as if Axel Braun is the only one still steadily making feature-length parodies.
My favourite years for porn have got to be from 2008-2012. When the revival of parodies was still going strong and there was some modern classics made.
I'm still not completely familiar with the new girls in the industry but am keeping my eyes out. I'm liking Abella Danger & Megan Rain so far from what I've seen. August Ames is also currently on track for a pretty big year after her big break out in 2015. Angela White also started out 2016 great with her new movie Angela Loves Gonzo which I'm sure will likely be up for some awards come January.
I think there's hope for 2016 to end up being a decent year.

This has been an amazing year so far, especially for new talent. The problem is the ever shrinking pool of male talent that has now boiled down to a very small group of tired old veterans that all should have quit years ago.

Didn't know Jade Aspen was webcamming that is interesting what site is she on. I think the key to 2016 is breaking the production companies stranglehold on the industry..they are more concerned with staying in power and forcing their views on consumers than making good porn.

I think we have had the best movies so far in Feeding Frenxy 12 and Rocco's Booty Cam 2.....but yes I agree 2016 looks bleak right now.
If Dana deArmond gets her boob job then the acopalypse is round the corner.

Sheena Shaw being blacklisted, what is this all about? I must have missed this. What happened there?

^ The basic gist is she had a secret affair with Evil Angel owner John Stagliano. Stagliano has HIV and the affair was ongoing while she was shooting scenes with other performers. After the affair was over, Sheena outed Stagliano on twitter and claimed to have a paternity test that proved he was the father of her child, indicating they had unprotected sex during the affair. So trashing Stagliano on twitter and having a potentially dangerous disregard for her fellow performers' health has made her a persona non grata in the industry. She attempted a brief comeback after all of this information came out, and as far as I know wasn't hired for a single scene by any company.

Oh, and to answer the question, no--there have been far worse years. That awkward transition from film to video, when video cameras were terrible and the people using them didn't know what they were doing--those years produced some truly awful porn. Nowadays, you can find fabulous porn content of all sorts of varieties, beautifully made. Sure, feature fans are borderline shit out of luck, but with a lot of websites utilizing feature formats we don't have much to complain about either.

^^ Yep, seemingly no professional repercussions at all. None of the directors who personally worked with Sheena (like Manuel Ferrara for example) have left the company, no performers turning down Evil Angel work, nada, zip.

Evil Angel released two scenes with Shaw during 2015, were these recorded two years earlier prior to her retirement in that case? Or did Stagliano hire her after her comeback?

To some it may appear that 2016 is off to a slow start, but I have to agree with Steven_999 that Angela White, Abella Danger and Megan Rain have had strong starts to the year. And Jules Jordan has been releasing excellent releases as always. In some ways, I feel that content production is stronger than it has been for many years, with Blacked, Tushy, Girlsway et cetera, all pumping out excellent DVDs.

^^ As far as I know, Stagliano has never disputed the fact that they had an affair. There was never any denial. The paternity test was posted on twitter, so that's public record. I never made any claim to the veracity of the paternity test though, only that she posted it to twitter and claimed Stagliano was the father. And her comeback absolutely fizzled out, but I don't have any insider knowledge to confirm it's lack of success was due to the Stagliano imbroglio. Just an educated guess that if performer makes the claim that they had repeated unprotected sexual encounters with someone who was HIV positive while working with other performers in non-condom scenes, it will impact their careers negatively. Especially considering how popular Sheena was before her retirement, it's not a huge leap to make that conclusion, is it?

Why should they leave?
they don't work for the company they produce their own content and have the company publish and distribute their movies , if they leave they have to do that from scratches without their expertise ,links and chain of commerce
It wouldn't be Evil Angel the one paying the hardest it would be them.
I mean would you cut off your dick to punish your wife?
Plus she brought a dangerous issue as if there are people in porn performing unsafe sex , when the industry already had a couple of AIDS scare, there was the Measure B condom issue,and many other things , in the very middle of all this she came out with an issue as such?
very vocal too.
You really think there's some conspiracy out there'
Nobody would hire someone who can put you in deep shit troubles
It's self defense

I don't get this. The average porn viewer is a very casual viewer. How can a star really "over saturate" the market?
I can watch a star I like for decades. Am I the strange person here?

Jezabel Vessir has a Black on Black scene coming soon, Anna Foxxx is doing dp if Cassidy Banks or Teanna Trump did anal it would make the year. There are some very nice new women in porn they just need to stick around longer. 2016 could be pretty good. If consumers speak up, be less friendly and understanding things could improve fast.

Nope, no conspiracy. As I said in my reply to Quorrl, the reasons Sheena has been blackballed are pretty straightforward. You're absolutely right about Stagliano though. Because of his position as the head of the company, he has seemingly been immune to any professional repercussions. He has the connections directors need, so he still gets to take his cut. He's got power, Sheena doesn't, so the consequences are asymmetrical.

You are joking or what? A year in which will we have most likely the first DP for Nikki Benz, Jesse Jane, Summer Brielle, Kendra Lust... can't be bad. I have great expectation from 2016.

"Nikki Benz and Jesse Jane"...lolololol. When thats the highlight of the year, then you know its a slow year. There hasn't been anything or anyone that has caught my eye this year. Last year we had a Carter Cruise film, an Aidra Fox film. If August Ames does anal this year, that would make it exciting.

So youre saying you still get the same buzz from your favorite Hollywood movie after seeing it a thousand times? Seeing your favorite porn star in her 10th gang bang scene is as exciting as her first one was?

I feel the same way. Very little really exciting movies. Feeding Frenzy 12 was one for me. Almost nobody makes movies in this cum swallowers genre anymore, but fuck, the content was as good as it has ever been.
I think a problem is that a lot of girls want to shoot, but can't continuously like before. Take one of the new asian beauties: Kalina Ryu. She's been talking about how little work she's getting, while she really wants to work. Every fucking scene she gives a top of the line performance with smiles and giggles all over. Yet almost nobody books her.
Before, popular performers had new releases every other day. I remember the days when Asa Akira transitioned from vag only to being an anal queen. Fucking hell. She was everywhere, to the point where I almost got bored with the barrage of brilliant performances. I don't see that happening anymore.

It's not been great, that's for certain. The number of videos I've added to my collection has been minuscule compared to other years.
I'm not sure when I even added a new girl to the list. I'm probably too picky, but no one recently has caught my attention.

I agree... i'm especially disappointed in Evil Angel.
The new directors don't rock my boat. And nowadys its mainly fm scenes.
Their lesbian stuff is weird or too loud
I miss titles like F for Francesca or ohter stand out titles... its all the same one on one fucking.
I wish American pron could be a mix of the nasty Legal Porno (east european) stuff and good acting and performing american pornstars.
The great Gonzodays are long gone and probably won't come back
